Higher damping factors are not a free lunch; something has to be traded off to get there, and that something is the ear-friendly distortion behavior of a low (or zero) global negative feedback amp.
Most SET and OTL amps have a low damping factor, but they work fine on speakers designed with such amps in mind.
I suggest reading this paper before you select an amplifier; it will be helpful regardless of what type of amp you go with:
